Pokemon Green is the only Gen I game that wasn't released to English. The Pokemon Red (and Blue) we got was actually the special version of Pokemon Blue in Japan. I think? You guys can correct me if I'm wrong.
So, anyway, the original Pokemon Red & Green had completely different sprites from the international, and even some layouts were different. If I recall correctly Cerulean Cave was different in the Japanese Red & Green. There were also some game breaking glitches such as if you evolve your starter before you get a pokedex, you'll softlock the game.
That being said, have you ever played the Japanese exclusive Pokemon Green? There is, unfortunately a really badly translated bootleg version of Pokemon Green out there but I won't talk too deeply about that.
I've never played the original Pokemon Green, no. I played the bootleg once, and was astonished by how...wild the Pokemon names were. Since it was directly translated from Japanese, all Pokemon only have up to 5 characters. But, I never got far w/that because I stopped playing it. I don't think I wanna play the actual Pokemon Green, though, the sprites are horrifying.
